My [26F] boyfriend [28M] and I got into an embarrassing argument(?) at a restaurant and it devolved into an awkward fight and (kind of) prejudiced name calling. How do I fix this?


Grownups don't split the bill? What

quote:

He ended up getting really mad, called me a r*tard and childish, and said that grown ups don’t split the bill, and they don’t offer to pay for anything unless they can pay for all of it (which I did anyways).

I’m with girl pants being dumbfounded at this bit. Splitting the bill was one of the most goddamn infuriating thing with groups I’d go out with for during conferences though it only happened at places that said ‘no separate checks’.

The bill would almost always come up either a few dollars short or with insufficient tip, then a debate would start over ‘did you add tax and gratuity?’ And you had your general suspects as to who was underpaying, and the protests would begin! ‘Jeff got the chicken, I only got a salad, why should we both have to add $2 more for tip when his was more expensive?!’

poo poo’s infuriating.

I don't really understand how adults get worked up over it either way, with the exception of broke rear end college students. Everyone I know just splits evenly and we occasional treat each other and there is reciprocity with that part. A few dollars is not worth fighting over if you are friends with someone, and it is also not worth taking advantage of a friend for.

I kept reading the word as apples and assumed it was like baked apples or something? I can't even comprehend appies

Husband [30m] turns very violent when he plays videogames. Last night was the final straw, don't know what to do from here?

I am [25f] .Husband and I have three children (3,1, and 5 weeks). He has started to become very obsessed with video games, especially this one game called fortnite. He'll ignore everyone and play for hours and hours. Its like he turns into a completely different person when he's playing, screaming bloody murder throughout the whole house and scaring the hell out of the kids. Waking the baby. Whenever I try to tell him to keep it down he will scream at me to leave him alone. Frankly I don't like to be around him because the way he starts acting freaks me out. He'll always apologize after these outbursts, but then it'll happen again the same or next day.

Yesterday night was the breaking point for me. I put the kids to bed, and began nursing the newborn. He was playing the game in the living room. It was pretty quiet at first (other than the occasional yelling) then suddenly out of nowhere he began yelling. I heard something break. When I went downstairs, the TV was shattered on the ground. He was having a complete rage, parading around and throwing things around, cursing, yelling. It was terrifying. He didn't even seem to care that we were down there, seeing everything, almost hitting us. Over all the loudness I kept telling him to stop, to be quiet. When he wouldn't I went upstairs (the kids were up at this time), and started packing the kids' stuff. He tried to pull us back in the house, begging us not to leave, but we were pretty shaken up. We left, and went over my sisters house.

Haven't talked to him all morning. He's called and texted a few times, but I need some time to think. I really need him to stop getting so emotionally involved with these games. He broke a ton of stuff in our house, and I'm pretty sure our babies are afraid of him by now. I don't want to constantly have to feel like I'm walking on eggshells around him. I'm not sure how to handle this situation or what to even say to him when I decide to call him back? All of this stress I really don't need right now, the baby is draining everything out of me.

Keep your children well away from their father. This one is kind of “huh”.

Help me 45[M] have a better relationship with my daughter 24[F].

quote:

u/indian_dadthrow2
This might be lengthy. Me and my wife ,48 F, have 3 kids. One son and two daughters. I am an Indian and so is my wife. We met in US when I was 19. Our kids are 22[M], 23 [F] and 24[F]. My son got a full scholarship at a really great university for engineering. We give him a small allowance which is around 1k a month.(important later)

Now, I have worked really hard to make something of myself here. I have done 16 hour workdays , faced racism and name-calling. Today, we are quite well off. The thing is I am traditional. Still, I am close with my kids and friendly. My oldest daughter[Ramya]and my son are pretty westernized. While my youngest is more traditional. All 3 are pretty smart.

I have been against Ramya wearing revealing clothes but never stopped her because she argued she is an independent western girl/woman. She was not allowed to date before 16. She rebelled and started dating someone. She stopped going to temples and community activities. We relented every time she brought up western values of independence. My younger daughter followed whatever rules we set for her.

Now, I had been very clear from the beginning that if you want to embrace a culture. Embrace it wholly. Don't use them as excuses to do one thing citing one and the other citing another.

Ramya was accepted to med school last year. It was clear we will pay only 40% of her tution fees [150k] because she wanted to live as a westernized woman. All my kids knew our stance on this. If you follow the Indian culture, we will treat you like Indian parents including paying for college. If you follow the western one, we will treat you like a western one. Now, my younger has also gotten into med school. We are going to pay her full fees.

I love all 3 of them equally. They are free to crash in home anytime for any reason free of cost. When Ramya broke up with her live-in guy(never wanted her to move in with him at 19. We were okey with them meeting everyday. as long as she came home) ,we took her in. No questions asked. I have emergency funds for all 3. Around 50k for each.

Ramya is angry with us now that her sister is getting a free education. She is not talking to us. And is pretty passive aggressive. I have been a handsy parent so when she threatened to not visit us for a week(she has 4 weeks off), I cut her funding. She came to us. She is talking to everyone, except me. She is acting sulky. She cried yesterday. And is now on her phone doing god knows what.

The thing is I could pay for her remaining 225 k in fees but it has to come out of my retirement fund. Help me resolve this with her.

Tl;dr : Older daughter wants us to pay for her med school(already paying 40%) because we are paying the full cost for my younger. This was an arrangement everyone was aware of. Older daughter is unhappy. Help me sort it out with her.

Props to the younger sister for working out the system - get your parents to pay for it, and then do what the heck you want when you graduate.

Wait, I just realized: She went "I don't want to visit you for a week because you're playing favorites with the more traditional kids" and he said "Then fine, I won't pay anything", so she reluctantly visited him and he's SHOCKED that she's not loving it?

I had a similar conversation with an (extremely crazy) former friend of mine who was also Indian and also constantly complained about her filthy rich controlling parents who paid for her grad school with a ton of conditions.

I sat her down and explained that if she wants to be free, her power is her presence in their lives and that she would need to pay her own way with scholarships or loans and deny them access to her life until they came around to her westernized life, which they might not. But if she wanted that sweet gravy train with all that sweet cash and tuition and rent and BMW, she needed to find the balance of what she could tolerate and keep strict boundaries about what she shared with her parents and how far she could push them since they would control her means of living.

Naturally she’s still driving the BMW and talking about how they ruined her life.

I got a couple of scholarships and graduated with almost exactly 200k in loan debt.

I am not holding money over her. She gets 150k which I think is a lot. She can take loans and I will cosign it. I still have 50 k for her future. Money is not on the table. We were pretty open from the get go about choices and consequences.

If she wants to stop communicating over a few hundred grands, I won't stop her. She can do whatever she wants.

How about “sat her down and explained” I couldn’t be her friend anymore if all she wanted to do was act psycho and blame it on her relationship with her toxic parents when called on her poo poo, and if she didn’t change something (whether that be her behavior or her relationship with them) she’d be alone as hell, which is what ended up happening

Sorry if that was unclear

"I have been a handsy parent so when she threatened to not visit us for a week(she has 4 weeks off), "

Does this mean violence,or intending to be a physical presence in raising her as oppose to loving off except birthdays and holidays?

it probably means having your fingers in literally every part of her life from the time she wakes up to the time she goes to sleep, and then after that too, literally sacrificing your own sanity to make sure your kids live up to the perfect virgin ideal you created for them in your head 20-30 years ago
